After moving the governor's palace to Songjiang and the school's affairs were decided, Zhou Chong immediately gave Zhengde a lecture on the two things, in which he explained these two things in detail, among which Zhou Chong was the most sure of the military academy, because he knew that this must be very in line with Zhengde's appetite, and as for the relocation of the office, it would definitely be unanimously approved by the cabinet.

In fact, it is true, when Zhou Chong's recital was sent to the capital, and let the cabinet and Zhengde see it, the two sides immediately had different opinions, among which the cabinet was very interested in the matter of the Sihai Governor's Mansion moving the administrative office to Songjiang, Li Dongyang and others discussed it casually, and almost immediately agreed to this matter, and Songjiang Mansion was also classified by them as the Sihai Governor's Office.

However, the cabinet headed by Li Dongyang resolutely disagreed, after all, there is no one who can enter the cabinet who is not a human being, and naturally they can also see the blow of the military academy to the civilian system, in order to safeguard their own interests, they naturally do not agree with the imperial court to run any more military schools, even if this military academy can enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

In contrast, Zhengde's attitude is just the opposite, he is not interested in the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas at all, after all, he has always trusted Zhou Chong's younger brother, and he has never had other ideas, let alone thinking about so many things like Zhou Chong, but since Zhou Chong wants to move the governance office from Shuangyu Port to his hometown Songjiang, this may be a little selfish in Zhengde's opinion, but he doesn't care, so he quickly agreed.

However, Zhengde is very interested in the concept of military school proposed by Zhou Chong, after all, the greatest wish in this life is to lead the army to fight with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield. It's a pity that it's subject to identity. It's a bit of a difficult aspiration. However, this still can't stop Zhengde's love for the military, and he naturally has a strong interest in the new thing of the military academy, and even has some ideas of his own.

In the leopard room in the West Garden of the Forbidden City, Zhengde looked at Zhou Chong's twists and turns with excitement, laughed while watching, and even patted his thigh and shouted: "Interesting! It's so much fun! The idea of this military school is so good, I can't come up with such a brilliant idea. But it's not too late. ”

When Zhengde said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand to the side and beckoned, and Gu Dayong, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, immediately came up and bowed to Zhengde and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"Dayong, Zhou Zhong proposed to me to open a military school, the so-called military school, which is similar to a place like an academy, but it is not used for people to study. Rather, it was to train generals for the imperial court, according to his proposal. I think it's a good thing to build a naval academy on the Songjiang side, specializing in cultivating talents needed by the navy, but I also want to open a military academy myself, in this capital, specializing in training some cavalry and infantry generals, the name is the Army School, so that when I go to war with the Mongols in the future, my border army of the Ming Dynasty will not be afraid of the lack of generals, but this matter is very troublesome, you can help me refer to it! Zhengde was very excited.

Gu Dayong grew up watching Zhengde since he was a child, and he naturally knows his temper best, and he also knows the relationship between Zhengde and Zhou Chong, and now when he hears that Zhengde wants to build a military academy by himself, others may think that Zhengde is joking, but Gu Dayong knows very well that when Zhengde said this, the military academy in the capital has almost been half built, and this matter is already a certainty, and no one can change it.

"Your Majesty, you are asking the wrong person this sentence, where does the old slave know about such a national event as a military academy, but Zhang Yong is a person who has led soldiers and is very familiar with the army, so Your Majesty might as well call him, maybe you can give some good suggestions to Your Majesty!" Gu Da said with a flattering face in a sharp voice, since Liu Jin's death, Gu Dayong has completely separated himself from the affairs of the court, for fear of stepping into Liu Jin's footsteps, but the more he is like this, the more he is trusted by Zhengde, which is also one of the things where he is smarter than Liu Jin.

Hearing Gu Dayong's suggestion, Zhengde also stroked his forehead with his hand and said with a smile: "I am so happy that I am confused, I actually ask you, a guy who knows nothing about military affairs, to suggest that you quickly have someone call Zhang Yong, and I want to discuss with him the matter of the army school in the capital, and we must not let the naval school established by Zhou Zhong surpass us!" ”

After hearing this, Gu Dayong agreed, and was about to turn around and leave to inform Zhang Yong to come, but he didn't expect that Zhengde seemed to think of something at this time, and stopped him at the moment and said: "Dayong, although Zhang Yong has been a military supervisor, after all, he has never really led troops to fight, so in addition to calling him, you also called Yang Yiqing and Qiu Yue, they are all literate and martial, and they are all people who have led soldiers, so they will definitely have more thoughts about the military academy!" ”

"Slave obeys!" Gu Dayong agreed again after hearing this, turned around and went to let people inform Zhang Yong and the three of them, speaking of Qiu Yue and Yang Yiqing mentioned by Zhengde, they and Zhang Yong are also quite fateful, when the king of Anhua rebelled, Zhengde sent Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong to lead troops to encircle and suppress, but before the army arrived in Gansu, the rebellion had been pretended to surrender, and then Qiu Yue, who fought back, led the troops to pacify.

Later, Liu Jin was taken advantage of by Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing to bring him down, and as a result, all three of them were rewarded, among which Zhang Yong is now in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor of the inner court, which can be described as a civil and military power, but fortunately he is not as domineering as Liu Jin, and he gets along very well with the ministers of the outer court, so he is now at peace. As for Yang Yiqing, he was appointed as the secretary of the military department, Qiu Yue was originally named the governor of Ningxia, the chief military officer of Ningxia, and was named Xianningbo, and later was named Xianning Hou again, and now he was transferred to Beijing as a commander, in charge of 3,000 battalions of cavalry.

Gu Dayong was very fast, Zhang Yong, who was already in the palace, was the first to arrive, followed by Zhang Yiqing, who was over sixty years old, and Qiu Yue, who was training outside the city. Qiu Yue is in his forties this year, he is a tall and thin middle-aged man, with very upright facial features, three long beards on his chin, and he looks very gentle. However, Qiu Yue may have been training when he received the notice, so he didn't have time to change his clothes before he came to the palace, and now he was still wearing a full body of armor, which made him a little more fierce as a general.

Speaking of this Qiu Yue, his experience is also quite legendary, Qiu Yue was not surnamed Qiu, he was originally an ordinary mercenary in the Ningxia Governor's Palace, and later got the appreciation of the commander of the General Military Office Qiu Li, and took him with him to learn the art of war, because Qiu Li did not have a son, so he thought that he was a righteous son, and changed his name to Qiu Yue, and later Qiu Li died, Qiu Yue inherited Qiu Li's command of the office, and later made great contributions in the rebellion of the King of Anhua in Ping'an, and became the upstart among the Ming generals in one fell swoop, and is now deeply appreciated by Zhengde.

After seeing that Zhang Yong and the three of them had all arrived, Zhengde immediately did not let them salute, but immediately beckoned them to come forward and handed them Zhou Zhong's recital to watch. Zhang Yong and the three of them are all smart people, and they naturally know that they definitely don't need to interfere in the matter of the relocation of the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, so the reason why His Majesty summoned them today must be for the sake of the military academy.

"Okay, I guess you all already understand the reason why I summoned you here today, Zhou Zhong plans to build a naval academy in Songjiang, specifically to train future generals for the navy, and I will serve as the principal of the military academy, and the generals who will come out of the military academy in the future are all my protégés, so that I can maintain the loyalty of the generals, and it is also convenient for me to control the military school, for this suggestion, I think it is very good, and I want to establish an army military academy in the capital, after all, in comparison, The biggest threat to my Ming Dynasty is still the Mongols in the northern steppes, so the army generals are the top priority, I don't know what your opinions are? Zhengde said with a smile.

However, when they heard Zhengde's question, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing both looked at each other, and then lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, because they had already learned about the military academy from the cabinet, and they also understood the impact of the military academy on the civilian officials after the establishment of the military academy, but now looking at Zhengde's enthusiastic appearance, he must have made up his mind to establish a military academy, which is not a good thing for civilian officials, and at the same time makes Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing in a dilemma, if they do not agree with the establishment of the military academy, it will definitely offend the emperor, if they agree, Then it may be the enemy of the scholars in the world, and neither of these parties can be offended by them.

In contrast, Qiu Yue's political knowledge is very shallow, and he usually only trains in the 3,000 battalions, and he doesn't know anything about the court at all, and now he sees the military academy proposed by Zhou Chong, although he doesn't have such a long-term vision and can't see the impact of the military academy on the entire Ming situation, but as a military general's intuition tells him that this must be a good thing.

It is precisely because of this, so I saw Qiu Yue immediately clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that this military school is a good thing, when the last general led the troops in Ningxia, he deeply felt the lack of generals in the border army, most of the generals are learned on the battlefield, but that is only a few, most of the people have not been able to learn the art of war, they have already died on the battlefield, now there can be a place like the military academy to train generals, in the future, I will no longer be in danger of lack of generals!" ”

After Qiu Yue finished speaking, he laughed very complacently twice, but when he saw Yang Yiqing glaring at him, he immediately understood that he might have said the wrong thing, but since the words were gone, he couldn't take them back at this time, so he had to bow his head hard.

And Yang Yiqing sighed, Qiu Yue is his old subordinate, and now he can see him waiting for the general, Yang Yiqing also feels very pleased, but today's Qiu Yue's words have already offended the civil officials of the world, and even he may need to draw a line with him. (To be continued......)
